PSG vs Nice Prediction and Analysis: The King's Late Finishing Blow

Latest PSG vs Nice team news

Coach Luis Enrique made eight changes to the PSG lineup against Nantes, resulting in a stronger team compared to the hard-fought victory against Le Havre a few days earlier. However, the lineup for the upcoming match will likely be similar to the one from Saturday's game.

With Arsenal having the weekend off, Enrique will want to rest his key players in preparation for Tuesday's Champions League semi-final. Players like Ousmane Dembélé, Nuno Mendes, Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, and the three main midfielders are likely to be rested.

Lucas Beraldo, Warren Zaire-Emery, and Lee Kang-in – who started against Nantes – will not be playing against Arsenal, so they are likely to continue to be in the starting lineup. Young talents Ibrahim Mbaye and Senny Mayulu may also be given a chance.

On Nice's side, defender Moise Bombito – who scored an own goal in the first leg – will not have the opportunity to redeem himself due to a wrist injury that will keep him out of this away match.

With Terem Moffi and Morgan Sanson returning from injury, Nice are only missing Tanguy Ndombele, who is still recovering from a groin injury.

Ali Abdi's explosive form – scoring in both of his last two starts – has forced Melvin Bard to drop back into a three-man central defense. Abdi scored the second goal in the win against Angers, and will undoubtedly continue to be a key player on Nice's left flank.

Latest predicted lineups for PSG vs Nice

Paris Saint-Germain:
Safonov; Hakimi, Lucas Beraldo, Hernandez, Mbaye; Zaire-Emery, Mayulu, Lee; Doue, Goncalo Ramos, Barcola

Nice:
Bulka; Abdelmonem, Ndayishimiye, Bard; Clauss, Boudaoui, Rosario, Abdi; Guessand, Laborde, Boga

Latest PSG vs Nice football match prediction

Paris Saint-Germain has already won the Ligue 1 title, but the Parisian club still has one historic goal: to become the first club to go undefeated for an entire season in France's top flight.

With the Champions League semi-final against Arsenal and the Coupe de France final against Reims just around the corner, PSG are now focused solely on finishing the Ligue 1 season undefeated – and they only have four rounds left to make that feat happen.

The 1-1 draw in their rescheduled match against Nantes on Tuesday night brought PSG one step closer to that goal, while also extending their unbeaten away run in Ligue 1 to 39 games – the longest in Europe's top five leagues.

Nantes still holds the record for the longest unbeaten start to a season with 32 matches, and although they drew with PSG in both legs this season, they couldn't stop Luis Enrique's team – who are now 30 matches unbeaten in Ligue 1 2024/25.

Although that draw ended PSG's 10-game winning streak in the domestic league, if they secure all 12 points in the remaining four rounds, they could still surpass the 90-point mark – an extraordinary achievement considering there are only 34 rounds left in this Ligue 1 season.

After their winning streak was halted by Nantes, PSG will face another opponent who also held them to a draw this season – Nice. In the first leg in October, PSG were held to a 1-1 draw, with an own goal by Moise Bombito costing Nice the victory.

However, this wasn't the only time Nice have troubled PSG. They have won four of their last nine visits to Parc des Princes, including a 3-2 victory in their most recent Ligue 1 game in September 2023.

However, Nice's form is showing signs of decline at the most crucial time, having gone five games without a win before narrowly overcoming Angers last weekend.

Just four points separate the second and seventh places in the Champions League race – so every point is crucial right now. In the previous round, most of the chasing teams earned points, so Nice's victory against a relegation-threatened team like Angers is extremely important.

Nice are currently fifth before this round of matches, and an away game against champions PSG could see them drop down the table unless they deliver a spectacular performance.

After this match, Nice will face Reims, Rennes, and Brest – teams with no specific goals left to play for – so they are hoping that the two-point gap to the top four doesn't widen before the final round of matches.
